On December 18, a member of the veteran Korean music group SHINee, Kim Jong-Hyun was found unconscious in a booked hotel room. Later, he was declared dead as a result of suicide. We got to know that he was suffering from extreme depression, which he addressed in a note that he had requested his close friend to share with his family, fellow members and fans if one day he happened to leave the world.

K-pop entertainment agencies are yet to realize how much an artist must be going through even though they look okay from outside in front of their fans. And they fail to give medical attention to the artists which leads to drastic measures.

The news broke everyone, and many of SHINee's fans (called Shawols) went missing and a few committed suicide post the tragic news.

It is horrifying how people still think depression is just a 'phase' and fail to understand the consequences if no one reaches out. This is the exact reason why teenagers and anyone in general who suffers from depression and/or any other mental illness(es) hesitate to seek help.

This petition is to seek ASHA's help in creating more awareness of Mental Health issues which it is amazing at and help provide such individuals a 1 hour free session with a qualified therapist/psychologist to encourage the people to open up about their internal struggles on their comfort levels.

Please support this initiative to let the organization know of this request, so that people can know that there are many to help and accept them.
